Going All In


I'm pretty sure that I have quoted Mr. Rudyard Kipling before, but just in case I haven't, I want to reference the Poem "If" for this blog.
In this super awesome poem, he says "if you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it all on one turn of pitch and toss,.....and lose and start again at your beginning, and never breath a word about your loss".

Can you really do that?
I tried it a few times at the casino, but I ended up walking away cussing every MoFo at the table,......
especially that punk-ass dealer who spinned that double Zero at the roulette table.

Then it finally dawned on me that he wasn't talking about money.
When Mr. Henley said winnings, he was talking about every thing that you have achieved in life.
He was talking about taking a chance to reach for the stars.......The moon,.....The Heavens.
The pursuit of greatness takes everything that you have. You can't put forth the minimum and expect great results.
You have to be willing to lose everything in order to gain everything.
So I ask the question....Are you really ready to go "All In"?
It doesn't matter if you are a man or woman.......In order to risk everything, you have to have balls (proverbial balls of course)

In the words of the great Project Pat...."you know what the problem is with the average mu fucka? Niggas aint got no vision....All they wanna do is ride around town in a clean car....sportin some expensive jewelry.....or a big bank roll to impress some bitch.........BUT THATS THE SHORT CHEESE"
In case you aren't from Memphis Tennessee, what he means is that people don't think and plan for the long term.... all they do is think about today and when they do that, they fuck up tomorrow.

I want to encourage you to step out on a limb and reach for your dreams. Even if you don't reach the stars, you will still land on the clouds.....and that's much higher than where you are now.
Isn't it?

You do what you want, but Me.....GTP, I'm about to go all in.
